I'm really torn. I know the trailer dialog is almost word-for-word but perhaps they took the best quotes of the original and placed them into the re-make.
Re-makes are all Hollywood has ever been capable of, really. There comes a point in time when there are only so many original stories and it's easier to adapt something old for a new audience then it is to try to create something original.
At the same time, the original is indeed a classic and that fact alone is almost enough to say 'You don't need to remake it'. And then you think about all the wonderful performances. A re-make often sees those originals tainted.
Still, when it comes out I will watch it. Perhaps there will be differences, perhaps not. Only time will tell!
